Off the Granite Chief Trail

19 Sep 2018 1 2 277
Glacially polished granite, with striations still visible, where the trail follows a bench on the way down to the base lodge for the Squaw Valley ski resort. Looking pretty much south; lift towers on the ski resort are locally silhouetted on the skyline. The gnarly tree in the foreground is a Sierra juniper, somewhat smaller than others I've photographed!
